Summary

Key leaders of the “Abandon Harris” movement, which encouraged voters to oppose Kamala Harris due to U.S. support for Israel during the Gaza war, are now expressing unease about Trump’s incoming administration.

Many in the movement, including prominent Muslim leaders, voted for Trump hoping he would bring peace to the Middle East.

However, concerns are growing over his Cabinet picks, such as Mike Huckabee and Tulsi Gabbard, which some see as troubling for Muslim communities.

      ah yes, the old, “if you dont do exactly what I say the way I say it then you are basically voting for trump” game. Yeah I dont play those dumb centrist hostage games. Cute.

      DNC idiots didnt have to set it up this way but they did. No anger for them eh? Just for the slaves who didnt mind the whip and support the genocide?

      Tell. me, when Harris talked proudly about her glock did you go outside and shoot yours in the air? yeeehaw!!

        if you dont do exactly what I say the way I say it then you are basically voting for trump

        Welcome to a world where FPTP has managed to create a binary choice, and one option is clearly worse. It’s not even “do what I say” or “voting for trump”, it’s failing to oppose him. Everyone that advocated against voting for Harris is complicit in the damage Trump will do that Harris wouldn’t have. Trans kids, abused spouses, victims of labour safety violations, all their blood will be on the hands of those that said “I don’t care”.

        Like you.

        I dont play those dumb centrist hostage games

        So you’re going to let the hostages die? How noble and enlightened.

        I didn’t set it up. I don’t agree with all of Harris’ views. But the General Election isn’t the place to make that point. Local elections, primaries, protests - great! But for all that it sucks, the General Election is a hostage situation. And unfortunately for the hostages, it’s not a “game”, it’s fucking life-or-death and you found “death” acceptable. Their death, namely.

        No anger for them eh?

        I’ve been plenty angry at them, as I am at all enablers of this fucked-up dilemma. But I can be mad at multiple people for different reasons.

        Just for the slaves who didnt mind the whip and support the genocide?

        Right, and who was the anti-genocide candidate?

        Oh right. Neither. Because this election wasn’t about supporting or opposing genocide.

        It was about all the points in which Trump and Harris are different, all the things you don’t care about, those “hostages”, which you’ll gladly let die for the sake of feeling good about doing nothing.

        You let people die in the name of pretending to save people. That’s the hypocrisy.
